The idea of Paradise is peculiar to mankind, because it is a place where a person will be happy. But happiness is an individual concept. There is not much of it in life, it may not exist at all. And it is necessary to recognize it, happiness. And in a distant, mysterious, marvelous country, it is everywhere, you just need to get there.... There are many such countries: the heavenly garden Iriyum, Mount Alatyr, White Arapia, Bujan Island.... Travelers strive to find Eldorado, the city of Paititi, the country of Ophir, the island of the Seven Cities. Historians and archaeologists discover civilizations: Ife, Lemuria, Egeid, Hyperborea. Historical geology is filled with information about amazing countries: Lavrasia, Gondwana, Tethys, Angaria. Paradise aspirations of many writers are known: "Utopia" by T. Mohr. Mora, the island of Bensalem in "New Atlantis" by F. Bacon, "Mysterious Island" by J. Verne, "New Russia" by N.G. Chernyshevsky, "Pitkern Island" by R. Merle, "Territory" by O.M. Kuvaev, "State of the Sun" by Y.I. Mukhin.... The mysterious Atlantis belongs to such countries, for many centuries not giving rest to researchers of various specialties.

The article gives a review of works describing the current state of technosphere energetics and presenting forecasts of its further development. The contradiction between the principles of structure and the direction of evolution vectors of the Earth's biosphere and modern technosphere with its energy is shown. The confrontation between artificial and natural habitat can lead to the destruction of the latter and global ecological catastrophe. In order to avoid such a negative scenario, scientists suggest "learning from Nature". For this purpose, the article considers energy sources and principles of energy conversion used by "living matter" - unicellular and multicellular organisms of the biosphere. In order to prevent a global ecological catastrophe it is necessary to restructure the technosphere according to the nature-like principles. In the presented article, the authors propose a concept of energy of the future ecotechnosphere, based on the already known theoretical and experimental developments made by scientists in the direction of imitating nature - biomimicry (or biomimetics). These include techniques and technologies that reproduce natural processes of energy production and transformation, such as the use of low-potential renewable energy sources, bioelectricity generation, controlled photosynthesis, gluconics (synthesis, processing and utilization of glucose), artificial muscle fiber.

The article analyzes the development of distributed energy systems in the Far Eastern Economic Region, aimed at achieving the goal of reducing the number of unprofitable generating assets in the region that do not meet new standards of environmental friendliness and energy efficiency.
